Peoples are starting using woot keyboards as their main keyboard not only for gaming why not give them full capabilities with those macros?!

#

I prefer having an ultimate 60he rather than switching with 2 keyboards for different purposes

#

But maybe we are max 3 to think like that

Probably more but most functionality can be done with third party programs and those who "need" it on board are the rare ones

that's 4.25. and jis-like they could have done has 4.5.

that's because you don't need long spacebar, it's a remnant of the past (esp because of extra benefits you get, esp Alts being centralized and more useful, esp playing some game).

@spring stirrup it's important to keep accurate notes - since he's using a 24-50mm on 6700 that means it's a 1.5 apsc crop so he's using it like a 36-75mm lens, better write that down

Magic, how does it work?

#

Another thing people can look forward to is when other brands get creative with the colours, designs and feel of hot swappable knobs that they produce which you guys can use on your Wooting keyboard. So this could become another way for people to personalise their keyboard even further.

#

Here are some views of the split spacebar

#

and this is the white colour way with the white wrist rest. I think looks so pretty

#

There will be two options when this be becomes available. Classic regular spacebar or the Split spacebar.

#

There was a gaming setup with CS2 on and i tried both the split and normal spacebar. For me using the one with the split, it did not feel any different or out of place. It’s like a seamless integration of a feature that allows for more flexibility with how you game.

I think I’ve broken my head thinking about how it works

hardy wadi
#

me with that wooting knob

earnest marsh
oblique pendant
# tropic relic

I looked into the small knob more. The movement on the switch is soo low despite doing like 80-90 rotation. It has a tad increase on it. So it can def do 360. What I can at least theorize, when it reach at the top, the inside of the knob will change a little bit using rotational force. Considering the software already knows it reaches 4mm, it'll switch the direction thus giving you an infinite spin. Maybe there'll be a delay/deadzone but that's not too bad for rhythm game even if it's like 0.5mm.

#

One thing I'm curious to see is twist while pressing gently. The knob seems to remember where it is prior to being pressed. It makes me think there's a nubbin inside that's pressing on the switch but doesn't actually lock it in place.

#

This doesn't look like what you see on a HE switch. It might be on top of the switch, which kinda helps helps with the fact that there still need to be some resistance for the rotational force to be transferred to be able to move the magnet/stem.

#

That's all I can say rn.

tropic relic
# oblique pendant I looked into the small knob more. The movement on the switch is soo low despite...

It’d have to be noncontinuous to be even remotely possible. That it doesn’t have an orientation indicator made me forget that (seemed to imply continuous rotation). The magnet can probably move more than 4mm vertically in it. I presume when it reached when you almost reach the top or bottom, there will be a spring. When twisted beyond that, the boards sends the action continuously. That’s the only way volume up and down would be possible (as shown in the teaser image).

tropic relic
oblique pendant
#

You know, it doesn't have to be just 4mm, it can be 6mm. As long as the sensor can sense it without much trouble.

tropic relic
#

Yeah.

oblique pendant
#

They can limit how far it can rotate but leave the push to be beyond that

tropic relic
#

You can hold a magnet like 10cm above the board and you’ll be able to see it in Analog Monitor.

#

10cm is exaggerating, like 6cm with a pinky sized magnet.

tropic relic
oblique pendant
#

that way is fine too, with the way I'm thinking it's working, with or without switch it's prop going to work mostly the same.

If Wooting made a knob, it would almost certainly be designed with a strong focus on analog input precision, modularity, and seamless integration with existing Wooting products. Here’s how such a product would likely work, based on Wooting’s hardware and software philosophy:

will the 60hev2 still be 0.1mm ap

#

or do they plan on lowering it

reef horizon
reef horizon
cedar slate
reef horizon
#

0.1mm is about the lowest consistent actuation you can reach

cedar slate
#

ahh i see, there has been some pretty decent implementations of it though no ?

reef horizon
cedar slate
#

do you think something like .05mm would be inconsistent ?

reef horizon
#

they usually have way higher deadzones so it doesnt even matter

cedar slate
#

i play games like siege, so i quick peak and stuff a lot and i will say it feels a bit faster

reef horizon
cedar slate
#

it has an adjustable dead zone as well

lucid trout
timber nimbus
#

it's like 0.005 except it'll turn off and work like something more usable a lot of the times because that's the only way for settings that low to actually be used

#

so your 0.005 is for show and really functions like say 0.05 or similar

cedar slate
#

what do you guys think the ceiling is then ? in terms of like consistent and true input

timber nimbus
#

0.05 maybe on super super stable switches, but even that's debatable

#

personally 0.1-0.3 is probably more smart to use for a competitive game where consistency matters

cedar slate
#

i see i see

timber nimbus
#

like if you put a gun to my head and say 'strafe peek this corner 100 times perfectly' in valorant, there's zero chance i'm using 0.005 or some other absurdly low setting for example

#

it's why a lot of even gifted mechanical pros don't use settings that low - it's just not consistent for actual controlled usage

cedar slate
#

to an extent that makes sense, i kind of just saw it as one of those features where like

#

maybe add it and make a disclaimer that it's not really consistent

#

so if it's something people may WANT to use

#

they can

#

i personally probably wouldn't, when i was using the slice i found it a bit too fast

#

and i'd like overpeak sometimes

reef horizon
#

the switches the keyboard comes with likely wouldnt even be able to work well that low

timber nimbus
#

it's pretty much just added because people don't take the time to think how absurd the amounts get for each decimal we drop lower

#

for example if we drop one more decimal lower past 0.005 then you're measuring the size of viruses under a microscope

reef horizon
#

unless wooting poured some magic into the tikkens

cedar slate
#

i will say i tried .05 on my slice with jade pros and it felt pretty good

#

.005 i can't really make an argument for

timber nimbus
#

i think 0.05 is usable in some scenarios depending on super stable switches

#

although i'm still unsure how truly consistent it would be over something like 0.1

cedar slate
lucid trout
timber nimbus
#

they're not bad, but not as good as some other box stems

#

#

like you get to full momentum when strafing REALLY fast

timber nimbus
#

it's funny people are going lower yet tenz is going higher last I saw

cedar slate
#

it would honestly feel uncomfy to use on cs

reef horizon

#

the only game that i've found having a really low ap to help is like siege

lucid trout
cedar slate
#

like i said doing things like quick peaking just felt a bit better

cedar slate
#

i'm currently immo3 on val if that means anything to you

lucid trout
#

But only eu elo matters

timber nimbus
#

he's immo3, which means very good if you want to transfer that rating to cs

lucid trout
timber nimbus
#

it's basically same as being in top percentile of faceit if you want to convert the rankings

#

iirc immo3 and up is basically top 0.15% or something like that of valorant

lucid trout
#

Is it?

cedar slate
#

yea it's around there i believe

lucid trout
#

Then his faceit elo would be like 1800

#

Ngl

timber nimbus
#

i don't trust anything you say when you compare cs and valorant to be honest lol

cedar slate
#

i don't really compare them much

#

cs is strategic gun skill

timber nimbus
#

yeah i don't think they're the same game since valorant has so much util stuff

reef horizon
lucid trout
#

What valorant wanted to be

cedar slate
#

valorant is way harder in its own way, i don't really think the two games correlate at all

timber nimbus
#

more so I mean jakubix is never giving an honest rating of anything valorant related because he hates valorant lol

cedar slate
#

too much util to play around for the games to be compared

timber nimbus
#

like if you say you're professional in valorant he'll probably say "oh so barely faceit amatuer then"

frigid lily
#

Will there be other types of wooting 60 he V2 switches available for sale?

cedar slate
#

i'm not dismissing cs i feel like it's a very hard game i just think valorant is a lot harder to play.

cedar slate
timber nimbus

lucid trout
timber nimbus
#

whatever works for you jakubix

cedar slate
#

on site but the default option will be the tikken

timber nimbus
#

they're totally different games besides both being tactical shooters, i don't think anyone was comparing the skill of the two, moreso just where the rankings lined up

cedar slate
#

i disagree

#

mainly because it's never really been done. when a lot of cs pros came to valorant and made like t1 it was because at the time valorant WAS actually gun play based

lucid trout
cedar slate
#

you can't really make that argument anymore

timber nimbus
lucid trout
#

I just hate their randomized recoil

cedar slate
#

there's a lot of aspects in val that can correlate to cs and vice versa, you can still learn positioning and gunplay in val

timber nimbus
#

aim translates but at pro level the other aspects will wrecks you

cedar slate
timber nimbus
#

like i don't expect a cs pro to jump into valorant and know what to do when he gets dumped with 50 util and has no where to move lol

cedar slate
#

i've seen people that have been like faceit lvl9 and could barley get out of diamond-ascendant on val

timber nimbus
#

he could aim well and do well like that, but if it comes down to util usage and understanding it's going to be a different game that has to be learnt

#

same with a valorant player going to cs where different strats and things have to be learnt

cedar slate
#

yay for instance

#

yay used to have some of the best valo aim probably ever

lucid trout
#

Also biggest issue of valorant not alot of tournaments

cedar slate
#

and now he can barely perform consistently

timber nimbus
#

he was on a comeback in playoffs at least, so hopefully he can hold his form when they return next split

hopefully

Because it’s a highly informative research paper backed up by heaps of evidence, obviously.

#

The accuracy here doesn’t really matter. Some people are of opinion that because a human can’t feel the difference between 0.1 and 0.01 that it therefore has no effect, which isn’t true..

So the numbers ChatGPT stated are off, for sure. It does explain the goal behind min-maxing a bit more though.

if we didn't care about keycap compatibility and stuff like that, this here would be best 60% kb for gaming and overall. Notice more centralized and convenient (for thumbs) Alt placements.
More accessible and nice Backspace - which also opens up for a Knob space in top right corner.
Very nice Ctrl that is good for both WASD and ESDF/homerow.

oblique pendant
#

I see this as someone DIY product rather than a mass market product.

wooden bluff
#

but again, this is variant #2, you already have normal wooting, variant #2 is for innovation, in layout functionality and comfort.
because so far the cart has been put before the horse with the standard conventional not-very-gaming-and-overall-friendly layouts.

#

someone has to actually be the first to take these steps, we can't be stuck with this antiquated less comfortable layout forever. (ergo-ortho would be too big step, and it already exists - the goal is more to change standard layouts, those that will just forever have monopoly maybe if nothing is done).
even custom layouts rarely try to do this, and definitely not from big companies.

Wooting is prop too busy with the making sure 60hev2 can be produced well and the firmware stuff + knob and firmware stuff along with that.

place your hands on homerow right now, notice how annoying it is to bend thumbs to reach Alts (+think of shortcuts), and notice how annoying it is to reach LCtrl - and this is ofc much worse ESDF gaming.

you don't need split and middle key and backspace as right space - with that more perfect layout you will reach Alt much better, use that as you would middle key, and Backspace is closer, so don't need that either as much.
you will have better caps lock binding for gaming, that is not annoyingly caps lock.

Apple makes a new one every mac, gaming company makes a new one for every release, and every Chinese company just make their own to suit Chinese and manu a different one for every language that can be conceived by the keyboard.

opaque depot
#

the worst part is that the actual answer to what mb is trying to solve with this layout already exists: you don't want a standard formfactor or even necessarily standard keys? you want to place keys at the most optimal and ergonomic position?

that's called an ergo keyboard

#

go build a dactyl manuform and be hapi

Or like there's a special strip of sensor lane and it allows you to make any layout possible.

which requires analog features of course.

I swear I was going to say this was an RoG because of the Take CONTROL (you dont need such a big ass CTRL Key) . Nobody uses it 😛

#

CTRL Key is mapped to the most useless key a Keyboard has ...
CAPS

#

emulating HHKB

wooden bluff
#

no you do need this big Ctrl, because if you test now even with WASD placement, you don't actually naturally reach Ctrl, also ofc very needed for ESDF layout in gaming (which is like a superior layout overall - just that it has received little support so far).

winter cedar
#

ESDF or WASD is just placebo. its only 1U ot the right. its still staggered

#

and CTRL is mapped to CAPS so no pinky contortionism 🙂

#

IMHO before folks try to edit-change keyboard layouts, try alternative stagegred layouts first

#

there is so much more to start with first.. like Colemak DH or Halmak

#

then try columnar (split or not) keyboards . but word of caution: there may be no turning back (hence the reason why I am hesitant) 😄

#

Long story short: it is useless for folks be discussing ergo and efficiency when they still use QWERTY ...

wooden bluff
#

concave ergo is really where it's at though, like Glove80, just not suitable for gaming really.
but i'm trying to fix conventional layout though. because also conversion for people from standard to ergo is too steep often I guess, also in price.

winter cedar
#

Yeah, my biggest gripe is that there is no HE keyboard live Glove 80, Korne, Voyager or even Defy

#

if there was, I'd pull the trigger

winter cedar
wooden bluff
#

tbh Glove80 isn't even that expensive overall, costs the same as OW60 lol

winter cedar
#

I'd never buy the OW60 . .there are limits 😄

#

if the Defy was HE, I would have bought 2, fully decked

#

then the OW60 is cheap in comparison LOL

wooden bluff
#

reason why so few do concave I guess is just how hard it is overall to do. like first often hard to do mold itself, then like very hard or time consuming to do pcb parts, many separated parts etc. (and then it can't really be hotswappable, because this pcb is like not attached well enough for it or something).

winter cedar
#

Yeah, it will never be mainstream

#

and folks still report isses with those

#

and when a switch fails, uuhhh

wooden bluff
#

nah, Glove80 is solid though. if switch fails? you can pretty easily solder a new etc, just need soldering kit.

#

no but why would a switch fail, that's not Glove80 at least.

winter cedar
#

a regular user won't have soldering skills 😄

#

GLove 80 is not hotswap 😄

wooden bluff
#

for stuff like that though you don't need much skills. there is no technique to this really.

winter cedar
#

there is, trust me. an unskilleduser will rip the pads/traces easy with overheat

#

you need a desoldering gun

#

even for 'old' keyboards that I haven't millmaxed, if I'm not careful, I can kill a PCB (specially the Corsair PCBs)

#

and I'm skilled on nano soldering and have JBC workstations

#

its easy to kill a keyboard when folks dont know what they are doing

timber nimbus
#

I like that all these suggestions just ignore how horrendously bad it typically is to launch a product that would require customers to educate and relearn how they type on a keyboard vs how they currently use a keyboard

#

Its catering to such an incredibly small niche of people who would be willing to meet those requirements

wooden bluff
#

it's only a few keys that are not even used often. the 0.25 row shift should be pretty manageable to learn.
current split you also have to relearn Backspace binding on right space, because that's the only good use for it (much more used than those keys). Another good use for middle key is have Shift there (also often used) - but this is also relearning etc.

timber nimbus
#

realistically most folks are binding game things to their split space (if they go split space)

#

eg right space becomes a map pullup key in valorant for example

#

or a ping command etc

#

they're not really thinking about typing binds there

#

that's honestly the big disconnect with a lot of these layout requests people are asking about - the reason wooting is doing their specific split spacebar is likely gaming related for extra game binds more so than some ergonomic typing reason

wooden bluff
#

they wouldn't have to bind anything there, if they used ESDF - then you get just more keys on the left side, and also with mine nicer Ctrl useage and also Alt, etc.

timber nimbus
#

the entire point is they want to bind things there.

#

it's nice to have another easily pressable key to bind in game things to without changing their normal usage

wooden bluff
#

spacebar should be placed in the middle and just be a solid piece, not split up and also then inhibiting both-thumb space usage.

#

using ESDF you get like 4 extra keys on the left side, 2 very accessible keys.

timber nimbus
#

convincing a ton of people to change from wasd gaming is never going to happen, especially the ones who have gotten used to using left ctrl with pinky

wooden bluff
#

did you see my layout, you can pretty easily use left Ctrl with pinky, with ESDF

timber nimbus
#

nah that's super awkward for ctrl pinky users

#

i assume you're not a ctrl pinky presser?

wooden bluff
#

everyone is a ctrl pinky presser what are you talking about

timber nimbus
#

no i meant like wasd ctrl pinky press

#

because doing it the same way as wasd position while being over esdf is not doable at all

#

aka the way all the fps players who use ctrl to crouch press it

wooden bluff
#

it is with that layout shown above

timber nimbus
#

no i'm telling you i'm literally trying to position over esdf right now and press where your layout would have ctrl and it hurts

#

it's super awkward and my curled pinky can't press it

#

if you're a wasd ctrl presser it's not usable

wooden bluff
#

it's 1u bigger than previous, the shift to esdf is 1u. so it works - when gaming ofc you would move kb 1u more to the left than usual (and also means 1u more mouse space).

timber nimbus
#

do you need a photo

wooden bluff
#

you're wrong lmao

timber nimbus
#

?? my hand is wrong

timber nimbus
#

it's super awkward and you can't push your curled pinky left further to reach it comfortably

wooden bluff
timber nimbus
#

i don't know why you think i'm trying to fool you about a literal physical movement that is photographed above lol

#

you cannot curl pinky press that key to match because you'd be on the awkward edge of your layout and it's super uncomfortable

wooden bluff
#

yes, for very centered homerow position - from which no one games - it's a bit worse - everyone MOVES their kb to the left when gaming, are you serious.

#

to the left or rotates it

timber nimbus
#

my keyboard is literally left

#

i'm not trying to cheat you of anything here. I think you just literally don't press ctrl with curled pinky if you think your layout is comfortable on esdf positioning

#

you'd have to slightly uncurl pinky to kind of stretch and reach the ctrl press

wooden bluff
#

you're very disingenuous, it's insane, who are you fooling you think? read the facts again - your issue would be literally the same using current Ctrl with WASD.

timber nimbus
#

?? do you think i'm making up this pinky press ctrl thing?

wooden bluff
#

yes, you're lying deliberately, gaslighting etc

timber nimbus
#

whelp i give up. I guess every fps player is lying to you lol

#

it's very clear now you do not use wasd + curled pinky press that a lot of fps players position in

wooden bluff
timber nimbus
#

you realize pressing it on the edge there is not comfortable at all right?

#

in the photo i showed my pinky is literally at the edge of where your new ctrl key would be

#

which is really not comfy

#

like i'd have to maybe change the spring to be super light to make pressing it like that comfortable

timber nimbus
#

it's insane that you think i'm trying to gaslight you lol

#

this is how fps players press ctrl and shift, with that curled pinky

devout violet

hopefully my friends 80HE isnt lost, i think westjet messed up our luggage 😭

wooden bluff

alright whatever i tried to explain, you're in your "everyone who disagrees is lying or using keyboard wrong" thing even with literal video showing the issue

wooden bluff
#

you just showed everyone what kind of bad faith, disingenuous person you are (but most here probably already knew).

timber nimbus
#

???

#

this entire conversation reads as someone who clearly doesn't press ctrl with curled pinky trying to tell people who do that they should just do it a different way and feel comfortable with it

wooden bluff

who are all these people you keep talking to that are supposedly agreeing with you?

rotund lotus

i didn't attack, i stated exactly what he did. after telling him the facts many times.

oblique pendant

I tried to do what Sno did myself and found it hard to also press ctrls. Even if I try to make sure it's position is the same as using WASD

wooden bluff
#

you have to bully the bullies, that's the only way

rotund lotus
tropic relic
wooden bluff
#

anyway moving on

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

basically a lot of us fps gamers have been used to a very specific awkward way to pressing shift and ctrl and changing it even slightly is really uncomfortable

wooden bluff
#

you don't game in homerow centralized position, what are you talking about (and even in homerow, this is not even correct, or has enough weight)

timber nimbus
#

I don't know what to tell you, ask most fps players to do it and they'll tell you it feels uncomfortable and they have to strain a little

tropic relic
wooden bluff
#

you either move kb to the left, rotate it, or do some combination of both, when you game.

timber nimbus
#

you could potentially get used to it over a long period of time, but because you're so trained to press a certain way it's awkward and uncomfy

#

you have to bend things just slightly different

#

the big thing is keeping fingers on esdf at same time as you press it makes it feel weird

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

i think this is one of those things you probably have to be someone who does it to understand, since to a non curled pinky person they probably see both as equally awkward looking

opaque depot
#

i think it's weird to argue on someone else's behalf, I just know how I press the keys

tropic relic
opaque depot
#

goes for all of you and especially mb arguing that one way of using the keyboard is objectively correct based on arbitrary reasoning stemming from nothing but his own experience

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

like fleimi, I feel any layout that basically relies on forcing someone to change how they want to comfortably use the keyboard is kind of a nonstarter

#

you can't just say "You're using it wrong, use it my way!" to get people to follow a certain layout

#

people are going to use it how they want to use it

tropic relic
devout violet
timber nimbus
#

so for average person they just see "oh wootings split doesn't really change how I position normally and I get 1-2 extra keys on space where I normally don't press"

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

i think 64% is a whole different topic and debate

tropic relic
#

Saying people will use their left thumb to press the right spacebar is kind of unrealistic and a bad argument imo.

opaque depot
#

i look at split spacebar keebs on google images and it's a tossup whether it's long-short, short-long, or even-even splits

#

arguing one is more common than the other is not really true either

timber nimbus
opaque depot
#

yeah given you're the only one along with mb that care about this split, doesn't seem very common to me at all

tropic relic
opaque depot
#

short search shows there's no "more common" layout here

#

it's just whatever each manufacturer decided to make

tropic relic
#

You don’t understand how split spacebars work, they aren’t all the same and they function different purposes each.

#

Woot’s split, does not exist.

timber nimbus
#

the main disconnect is aligner believes the right thumb users is more important/bigger than the gamers who aren't and who prefer wootings version for gaming

tropic relic
#

2.75U - 2.25U - 1.25U exists and is perfectly ergonomic because the right thumb presses the 2.25U spacebar (so this split doesn’t offer a third gaming button).

devout violet
#

i personally like the split 60HE v2 the way it is, works super well for how i plan on using it

tropic relic
opaque depot
#

the wooting split does exist given I see keyboards with that split on google images

timber nimbus
#

one side is going to be slightly awkward regardless of which split version you use

#

either right thumb users or gamers who like the bigger left side

#

wooting just picked the one that gamers tend to prefer - that's how I see it

opaque depot
#

that's how I see it as well

tropic relic
tropic relic

#

your argument is also not based on anything except "i feel this way"

#

nobody else has come forward with an opinion that it's bad

timber nimbus
opaque depot
#

so it's just you until proven otherwise

timber nimbus
#

the non popularity or lack of existence of something doesn't equal proof that it'll be unpopular or not preferred later

tropic relic
opaque depot
#

you don't have an argument for ergonomics though

opaque depot
#

the same argument that says more room for right thumb takes space away from left thumb when gaming

timber nimbus
#

we are just trying to explain that a lot of gamers don't care about 2 handed ergonomics in their gaming keyboard over something that works better for their wasd gaming

opaque depot
#

therefore it's one pro for and one con against === not an argument towards either side

tropic relic
# tropic relic

The argument for ergonomics is perfectly clear. Which is why one exists and not the other.

timber nimbus
#

there's a bit of a logical leap there though

#

one exists and another doesn't isn't proof

opaque depot
#

yes it's a gaming keyboard so gaming comfort would be preferable over optimal typing comfort

winter cedar
#

Wooting didn't invent the split layout and burned 100k on the keycaps molds. This split space design already exists. There are also keycaps that will fit it. Check keychron q10 , q13 and q14

tropic relic
timber nimbus
opaque depot
timber nimbus
#

i mean it just comes down to aligner uses his keyboard more in that ergonomic 2 handed typer position and wants that more popular ergonomic split

opaque depot
#

that would be fine but he argues so does everyone else, for some reason

timber nimbus
#

yeah that part is where everyone is disagreeing

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

but you just said it didn't exist before so how would gamers find and argue for such a niche thing that they barely even know exists before this

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

that's the whole thing - your evidence is that it didn't exist and people didn't talk about it before so it doesn't matter, but that isn't necessarily true

#

it could easily just be that gamers barely knew it existed and that the crowd that might be interested in trying or using split spacebars before were heavily in the ergonomic crowd

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

Ngl, but personally, for gaming, if I go down the split space bar, I honestly don't care which space bar size is on the left. Either is easily reachable

opaque depot
#

yeah point is nobody else but aligner cares

timber nimbus
tropic relic
#

For that reason, one group should be more considered than the other.

winter cedar

we're just saying that we don't agree with your analysis that your group of foks is more important than the gaming group of folks who don't use it that way

timber nimbus
#

and yes, that's what we're saying

tropic relic

have you seen the type of people buying those 3 very popular he gaming boards

it's literally the niche of people that heavily overlap with the ergonomic and mx custom crowd

#

your niche

tropic relic
timber nimbus

#

Both for gaming and for ergonomics.

timber nimbus
#

for the most part split and other layout boards were made for a very specific crowd of people, not really your average gamer, so the existence of those boards isn't proof or non proof in my eyes - it's just companies saying "oh this crowd of folks want this"

#

something not existing doesn't mean it wouldn't be preferred or liked once it does exist

#

it just means products were made based on specific target customer demographics previously

tropic relic
#

Okay, if someone were to take full advantage of their split space board, would they be using the right spacebar with their right thumb or not really.

#

Just want to see where you’re coming from.

I use my knuckles to type

i think the whole disconnect is aligner is a min/maxing ergonomic typer and to him it's a no brainer that ergonomics should be the major concern

whereas a lot of gamers aren't in that demo and don't care and would probably just pick whatever is comfier while wasd gaming

tropic relic

that's where we are disagreeing with you

If ergonomics weren’t of concern, just “gaming” they would’ve went with 64%.

timber nimbus

we need to drop the 64% thing because that's a whole different debate and topic

stick to one thing at a time

always remember that this is a Variant #2 - there already will be a standard kb for gaming etc. This second variant could be much more wild and unorthodox if Wooting wanted.

tropic relic
timber nimbus

yeah but none of us are arguing that topic with you

we agree, some people would prefer 2.25u (such as yourself and other right space users), just that wooting chose the 2.75u gaming crowd as their priority and we're okay with that

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

yeah see that's the difference. I'm not trying to decide for your crowd of people how big they are or how important their crwod is

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

very different things

#

the existence of a thing or it being popular does not equal something else not able to become preferred

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

that's what you keep jumping over

tropic relic
wooden bluff
#

no the thing is aligner - Spacebar is like most commonly and naturally used by left thumb - and it makes just sense to have this be bigger and more accessible than the other right space and having Backspace on it. for me it's still really not enough incentive to get it.
but it's true that 2.25 left would be better for gaming (wasd). many people I guess have not that big hands, teenagers, women etc (not moving the wrist while reaching middle key) (maybe still fine idk).

tropic relic

if people want to use it for typing and want to take advantage of it, they can’t with the 60HE v2 (split).

if he presses on the right side of the key more then it changes nothing for him, just depends on his typing style

Right, the natural position of your thumb is directly below your index finger!

timber nimbus

yep, look we've kind of gone full circle now. The bottom line is aligner believes wootings version didn't exist before and that is proof it will not be preferred or popular, that's about it i think?

blissful anvil

Don't get me wrong I'm gonna buy it, cannonkeys cxa sets come with domed space bars in those 3 sizes so if worst comes to worst I'll just set em all up as spacebar in a typing profile or disable one that causes double presses but I can see an argument for a more ergonomic setup.

Technically, you can also use 2.25 on the left doge

timber nimbus
#

you kind of need to prove that it's true

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

OK, after some thoght while shaving :d here are my thoughts on the whole drama:
1 - yes, it is a fact that (generaly, for split space bar) the right one is the 2.75 one, to account for the extra lateral movement the right hand needs to perform to reach the additional staggered keys to the right of the keyboard

wooden bluff
#

my stance on it is - most use left thumb or at least both thumbs for space - so for them the transition will be easy.
- and those that don't use left thumb - it's also pretty easy for most of them to learn to use the superior left thumb (and also rebind your other potential kbs for this - it's just the best way - you just learned to use it the 'wrong' way before).

winter cedar
#

so your right thhumber will flex more on the 60HE v2

wooden bluff
#

a lot of troubles just comes from people not learning the best way to use kbs really - and they should for sure try to learn the right way, and it's not even that hard.

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

but my question is: isn't the swith location centered on both sides? This way, users could chose which side to put the 2,25 and 2,75 space key caps

tropic relic

That is the whole reasoning.

winter cedar
#

0,5U of flex wont arm the caps

#

best of both worlds and everyone is happy

Don't tell jakubix

timber nimbus
#

some of them predicted 80he would flop just due to layout

winter cedar
#

but was there a particular reason for left to be 2.75? I can even understand that as branding. and that s fine if were honest

timber nimbus
#

that specific demographic that is also upset over not offering tsangan right now

winter cedar
#

so you know its a wooting keyb. is the left is bigger than the right space bar 😄

just like the take control strip 😄

it's in stock, though not sure how much.

winter cedar
#

the world is in crisis finantially and the americans are hostage of tariffs, so I believe there will be stock for some time

timber nimbus
#

i think it got to instock after what, batch 3 or something like that? but for like 3 days or something iirc lol

I have made an intersting question regarding the double space bar: how is wootility handling space bar presses? SOCD ?

#

that cant be the default behavior for sure

timber nimbus
#

nothing would change there though

winter cedar
#

NULL conflict resolution?

timber nimbus
#

the extra keys would either be space still or bound to different inputs that aren't space

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

because usually a keyboard doesn't have 2 keys bound to the same keycode

timber nimbus
#

like for example i'd just end up binding f8 or a random key i don't use to one of the splits and then in game binding f8 to whatever I want

rotund lotus
#

I thought the many were right spacebar users?

winter cedar
#

they you defeat the true purpose of a split space bar 😄

oblique pendant
timber nimbus
#

the whole point is extra game buttons

winter cedar
#

hmmm....

winter cedar
#

I saw so much potential ...

timber nimbus
#

it's not an ergonomic thing for wooting. It's a "oh I play WoW and i get 2 extra keys now to bind for my thumb"

#

Challenging the industry right spacebar users

blissful anvil
#

Honestly let's just get rid of the stabilizers and throw 5 1.25u mod keys down there, typing be damned.

timber nimbus
#

or "i play valorant and now I have an easier map button" etc etc

we get it aligner. You think the right space bar is the demo they should cator to and the other demo is few

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

the thing is: if you remap one of the space bars for gaming, you will get a tiny space bar for 'regular' use ... are you comfortable with that trade off ?

tropic relic
#

Which you agree with.

timber nimbus
#

it doesn't interfere with a lot of gamers regular use

#

Are people who buy hm66 buying Wootings

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

WoW thats a big nono

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

don't even know what that is

blissful anvil
#

It doesn't fuck anyone over because it's not their only offering, if they didn't offer a full size space layout option and this was all they are selling then maybe you'd have an argument, but nobody is being forced into using the split layout, if you don't like it don't get it.

winter cedar
#

[binging] 😄

oblique pendant
#

Actually, does the 2.75u on left spacebar badly received at all?

vast dagger
#

Tbh everyone I've seen post a HM66 has it without the split space spacebar

oblique pendant
#

On actual use, not like '2.25' should be on that. Kind of use.

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

I don't like the HM66 split space bar either [just binged the product]

tropic relic
#

That is also a hypothetical, I’ll say that.

timber nimbus
#

it should be noted that aligner just happens to be in that 'everyone' crowd

oblique pendant
#

Since everything is hypothetical, why don't just let wooting do the risk and see if the spacebar will be appreciated/hated.

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

so wooting should not try out a new variation that may be preferred by some because of users within a niche of a niche?

vast dagger
#

Right but you're also arguing it's a bunch of people getting fucked over

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

if you are designing a keyboard for a niche market, you should appease the niche users, no?

blissful anvil
#

Alright this kid is just baiting at this point

tropic relic
#

2.25U on the right side is (imo unarguably) unergonomic for the people that’s want to use it.

timber nimbus
winter cedar
#

ok, then its a pass for me

gray violet
#

I mean I found it quite ok, and that’s coming from a right spacebar - non split user

tropic relic
gray violet
#

And I imagine there will be quite a bit of people like me

#

Who are not already in the split spacebar space

winter cedar
#

thumb sprain is a thing ....

timber nimbus
#

i do think it's a bit funny that the evidence for why wooting shouldn't try out this new variation is because of gamer who buy and use he keyboard with a split option, who also are in the niche of using the split option, who are also in the niche of wooting buyers, who are also in the niche of preferring the ergonomics vs gaming wasd option

#

it's like a niche within a niche within a niche within niche

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

and that's apparently the customer base we should be worried about wooting satisfying

gray violet
#

Due to the language I type in

tropic relic
timber nimbus
#

at some point your split of the pie graph is so small that it's a bit weird to be using that as evidence

winter cedar
#

if if simply swapping both space bars would please both, I don't see why not honestly

oblique pendant

#

True, but I don’t think right 2.25 is necessarily taking anything away from me

timber nimbus
#

it's literally aligner arguing on behalf of everyone impacted by it

#

while everyone else is saying it's fine

tropic relic
winter cedar
#

IMHO, thats the only deal breaker for me, and I use ergo keybs as well

tropic relic
#

It would take away everything from you.

#

It’s just about the overhangs.

tropic relic
oblique pendant
#

cant wait for q4 and see what everybody else is thinking about it on actual use.

winter cedar
#

the right space bar being 2,25 is a deal breaker for me , because of possible thumb sprain when typing

tropic relic
#

Fucking over the 2.75U people.

timber nimbus
winter cedar
#

but hten again, I have about 12 60Hes , dunno when I need to restock 😄

oblique pendant
#

oh yeah, you can just still buy the 6.25u 60hev2

timber nimbus
#

the whole evidence behind aligners statement is that boards exist and it's more safe and popular to do it his way. Once wooting releases theirs, it would be more popular than the current split he options and therefore by his evidence it's now the correct one to copy

#

so once wooting release their 60he v2 they are correct

#

it's more bought and used so therefore it's the right layout now

tropic relic
#

😃👍

timber nimbus
#

yeah i do, but that's the fallacy of the logic behind your argument

oblique pendant
timber nimbus
#

i know why you're arguing for it (because you think it's better) but none of the evidence about popularity matches up to back it
